I have a discourse development setup running within WSL. This works quite ok for working on plugins.  
But today I noticed something weird, whenever I edit the `config/locales/client.en.yml` file the systems hangs. I cannot even shut it down normally, a “puma” process just hangs and I need to kill it (-9).  
It doesn’t happen with any other file. Changing .rb files or even `server.en.yml` just reloads the application. But with `client.en.yml` it just gets stuck.

I’m not sure if this happened before. I just started noticing it today. I am working off the stable branch.

I usually have to restart after changing locales
